E maj9 Chord on Violin
Play E maj9 on Violin: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The E maj9 chord is a major extended chord that stacks ninths, elevenths, or thirteenths over a major-seventh foundation for a rich, jazzy color. It is built from the notes E, F#, G#, B, D#. This page shows how to play E maj9 on Violin with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the E string open and takes the rest in position 6, reaching across 4 positions. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from D#4 up to F#5.
Violin is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on E or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
